Antmicro

Overview

Antmicro Ltd is an embedded technology company which combines the latest software and hardware technologies to create advanced products for its customers. Based on internal R&D and its own development frameworks, Antmicro provides know-how and guidance to customers looking to innovate by applying new technological developments to solve practical problems across various verticals. Antmicro’s projects often involve computer vision, FPGA SoCs, heterogeneous, multi-core and/or multi-node systems.

Microsemi and Antmicro

Antmicro has implemented support for Microsemi’s RISC-V-based Mi-V soft central processing units (CPUs) and the solution’s integration with Microsemi’s SoftConsole software development environment, enabling a vastly improved, test-driven software development methodology for all RISC-V CPU users.

As part of their collaboration within the Mi-V ecosystem, Antmicro and Microsemi developed and tested software for Mi-V RISC-V processor subsystems. These were specially designed for Microsemi’s lowest power, cost-optimized mid-range PolarFire® field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which are binary compatible to hardware, even before hardware is available. In addition to expanding Microsemi’s Mi-V Embedded Ecosystem, as well as the adoption of its PolarFire FPGAs, the collaboration improves the development experience and quality of Mi-V-based systems.

Antmicro Renode Platform

As part of Microsemi’s Mi-V RISC-V ecosystem, Antmicro’s Renode platform offers multiple connected virtual devices (multi-node) setups within the same simulated environment, bypassing the limitations associated with single device solutions like those from competitors. Using C#, a high productivity programming platform, and advanced abstraction layers, the solution boasts ease-of-development for customers without the hassle of C programming. In addition, it offers full visibility of simulated platform enabling better insight and increased security, and open source to allow for unlimited integrations, modifications and additions, as well as easy bundling and distribution to customers—particularly those leveraging Microsemi’s SoftConsole.
